The Camel in War.
, The camel is H good sohlicr.v
II tuny lie stupidity and it nifty be
bravery, but a camel is as steady under
< tire as a tower. Tho Persians mounted
small cannon on the backs of tlieir
camels, and called them zamb-wahs or
"little wasps." This fashion was
adopted in India, and after tho battle
of Hobroaon 2000 of these artillery
camels were captured. In the Indian
mutiny the British had a camel corps
of 150 beasts and on tho back of each
camel sat a Scotch Highlander in his
kilt, lu 1845 Sir Charles Napier had
a camel corps in Hindi), and in one day
lui. mavch«d seventy-fivo miles, de
feated a brigand chief and marched
home again, lu 1878 the British used
camels against the Afghans and the
Government paid for 50,000 camels
that died in those campaigns. Many
of these were driven to death by their
owners in order that they might claim
the Government bounty.—Milwaukee

Kciiiitrkahlc l>cnl in Dentistry.
A most remarkable story of a deal
in dentistry is going the rounds. A
banker's firm in London the other day
made an investment in teeth which
was highly satisfactory, and in which
the money flowed the other way. It
seejiis that an ancient swindler, who
had cheated them out of some money,
was caught, convicted and sentenced.
While in prison ho wanted a new set
of teeth, those he was wearing not be
ing all that could be desired in dealing
with prison fare. The governor of the
jail told him that the Government did
Hot provide false teeth for the prison
ers. Accordingly ho wrote to the
bankers and told'them that if they
would provide him with false teeth ho
would give them some valuable infor
mation. They sent him $25, ho got
his teeth, and in return he sent them
information that led to the finding of
&7500. All in all, it was a good in
vestment. —Detroit Free Press.

YOUNO CALVES MUST BE PROTECTED.
Tho first year of a calf's life deter
mines to a great degree its value as an
animal for profit. If it is permitted
to run with the cows, steers and
older cattle, where it will be jostled
about and made to stand back from
the feed until such a time as it can
get to take up the refuse left after the

IRRIGATION AND TREE CUJ/TURE.
The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irrigation,
and the arid lands question will never
be satisfactorily settled without the
recognition of this principle in its
solution. America can ill afford to
ignore the experience of other Nations
in this respect, and forestry should
receive equal consideration with irri
gation.
It has been estimated that within
historic times some seven millions of
square miles along the shores of the
Mediterranean, once highly fertile,
have been changed into worthless
deserts, and for nearly two thousand
years the inhabitable portion of the
earth has decreased at the average
rate of 3500 square miles. This has
been produced by the direct agency of
man, the evil being chiefly due to
river Hoods caused almost exclusively
by the destruction of land protecting
forests.
It is right that America should set
the example of reclaiming desert
lands, and thus increase the earth's
capacity for supporting the human
race. Irrigation and tree culture
must go hand and hand in this work.
—Colman's Bural World.
FRUIT GROWING FOR PROFIT.
The best land for fruit growing is a
loam with some gravel in it, but good
drainage is indispensable for success.
Plums and pears will do better on
heavier soils than other fruits. There
is no doubt of the profit of either of
these two fruits, but both are difficult
of culture, and skill and extreme care
are necessary to succeed. Both are
liable to diseases and attacks of injuri
ous enemies that must be most care
fully guarded against. Then either
fruit may pay several times as much
profit as any other common kinds. The
spring is the best time to plant these
fruits, but apples may be plantedlin
the fall quite as well as in the Spring.
In choosing varieties it is well to cou
sult the nurserymen from whom the
trees are purchased, as they will know
the best kinds for the locality and
soil. Otherwise any experienced fruit
grower of the neighborhood may be
consulted. As a rule, it is best to
procure the trees from the nearest
nursery, and thus avoid the risks of
delay in transportation. Pears are
set twenty feet apart, and plums need
about the same space. It has been
found profitable to set out dwarf pears
between the rows of the standard trees,
as they will begin to bear the third
year, and by the time the others be
gin to bear they will have repaid all
the cost of planting, and, under
favorable circumstances, a respecta
ble profit. When the planter has the
experience and skill needed, there is
no more profitable agricultural enter
prise than fruit growing.—New York
Times,
ESSENTIALS IN STRAWBERRY GROWING.
Professor Lazenby, before the Co
lumbus Horticulture Society gave the
following summary of essential points
to be kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not eas
ily influenced by differences ill soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have a more local
reputation.
Pistillate varieties, when properly
fertilized, are mere productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of a variety for fertiliz
ing pistillate flowers does not depend
so much upon the amount as upon the
potency of its pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable to be injured by frost than
the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that tire neither very early
nor very late in point of maturity, arc
the most productive and have the
longest fruiting season.
As a rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foilage are
the least productive, while those with
a weaker growth of foliage and a
greater susceptibility 4b leaf blight
are usually the more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon well drained soils, but ap
pears to be a necessity upon heavier
ones.
The leaf blight may be checked by
using the Bordeaux mixture, beginning
just as soon as the leaves appear, and
continuing the application every few
weeks throughout the season.—Col
man's Rural AVorld.
WINTER CUTTINGS.
Tn the winter lime cuttings from
shrubs and small fruits should be
made for early spring planting. Tn
this way trees and shrubs can tie
greatly increased in numbers, and
new, large orchards can be given an
early start without any expense other
than the laiior required to make the
cuttings and plant them. Currants,
gooseberries and ornamental shrubs
should be grow n upon nearly all farms.
The various methods adopted by
florists to increase thenumber of their
shrubs and trees are all simple, such
as the soft wood cuttings in the green
house in the winter and layering in
the summer, but the hardwood propa
gation in fail or spring is the method
that should bo considered at this time
«>f the year. If the cuttings are to tie
planted out in the spring they may lie
made any time this winter. Where
winters are severe the planting shoul 1
never take place until spring, but
where the weather is not very cold it
does not matter much whether the
plantings are wade in the fall, winter
or spring. The cuttings that are
gathered in the winter should be tied
in loose bundles, and bo set in damp
sand in a frost proof cellar where they
will keep until needed in tho spring.
As soon as the soil dries out in the
spring they should be planted.
The young shoots of last soason
should bo selected for these cuttings,
and they should be cleft from the
main bushes so that they will be about
one foot long. These are nearly all
buried in the spring in deep, rich soil,
leaving only four inches of the tips
above the ground. The soil must be
trampled down firmly around them.
They will begin to start almost im
mediately, and a young orchard of
trees or shrubs will soon provo a great
blessing. Not only fruit bearing trees
will succeed in this way, but nearly
all shade trees. It is probably the
easiest way of starting young trees
that can be devised.
Quince orchards should be started
every few years if a good crop is ex
pected annually, and there is no easier,
quicker and surer way than selecting
the cuttings in the winter months,
when there is plenty of time, and then
starting them out early in the spring.
Meanwhile, tho land on which they
have been started can be planted the
same as usual for a season or two af
terward.—American Cultivator.
HIGHEST PROFITS IN HIGHEST FEEDING.
Ten cows were fed a ration begin
ning with eight pounds of grain and
twelve pounds of hay, and gradually
increasing up to as high as nineteen
pounds of grain anil twenty-seven
pounds of hay per day and head, and
then gradually decreasing to the or
iginal amount. Throughout this test
at the Pennsylvania Experiment Sta
tion accurate notes were taken of the
amount and cost of the food, the
amount of milk, produced by each
animal and its butter value as determ
ined by t he Babcock test.
Perhaps the most striking lesson is
the demonstration given of the profit
there is in liberal feeding. The cheap
est ration used cost 18.8 cents per day
and produced butter valued at 26. C
cents, making a net profit of 7.7 cents
per day per cow. An increase of 2.9
• ants pel' day per cow in the cost of
this ration made the daily value of the
butter 31 cents, and the net profit 9.3
cents per day, or a difference of 1.6
cents per day per cow in favor of the
more costly ration. In other words,
the farmer who attempted to econo
mize by feeding the cheaper ration,
would, with a herd of twenty-five
cows, save $217 per year on his feed
bills, but would lose $337 worth of
butter that he might have produced
with the more costly ration, so that
his ill-judged attempt at economy
would result in a net loss of SI 20.
The cheaper ration, moreover, is
what would ordinarily be considered a
good ration, and the majority of dairy
men would be likely to feel less, rather
than more, yet the results show con
clusively that with such cows as these
the more expensive ration was really
the more economical.
A further increase of the cost of the
ration, however, to 25.1 cent per day
gave no further increase in the butter
product, and the net profit was thereby
cut down to 4.9 cent per day, or 1.8
cent less than with the cheapest ration
of the three. In other words, the ex
periments indicate that there is certain
medium ration for each cow which will
give the greatest net profit, and that
any attempt to economize by feeding
less than this will result in a loss,
while, on the other hand, it is possible
to feed a cow too much as well as too
little. Generally, however, there is
much more danger of feeding too lit
tle than too much.—New England
Homestead.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Fatten your sheep before selling.
Turkeys fret if confined to a coop.
It will never pay to feed poor cows.
Have the colts thoroughly broken to
harness when young.
Give the young pigs all the skim
milk they will drink.
Cleanliness is as necessary to the
sheep as food and shelter.
The less water there is iu butter the
fewer odors it will absorb.
Quality rather thau quantity should
be the motto of all breeders.
Narrow door and gate ways are
frequent causes of capped hips.
Milk set to cool where smells exist
absorb such odors very readily.
A small flock of sheep, well cared
for, is a source of continual profit.
Clean stables will add much to the
health and comfort of your horses.
The usual time for weaning is when
the foals are four or five months old.
Too much corn is the source of manv
of the disorders to which hogs ire sub
ject.
The winter dairy brings in an in
come at the time when the farmer is
receiving very little from any other
source.
A little wheat chaff scattered on the
floor of the poultry-house will keep it
dry and warm, besides forming an ex
cellent litter for the poultry to scratch
iu for the grain which should be scat
tered about daily.
It is just as necessary to give proper
development of bone in the hog as in
the horse. When the hog is being
made ready for market he has an
amount of flesh to carry that cannot
lie well distributed upon a weak
frame. Give such food and exercises
as will build bone before the fattening
period begins.
The Rhode Tsland State Experiment
Station bulletin on fertilizing says
that the av. rage of all the fertil
izers sold in the State during the sea
son could have been made by the
farmers themselves, after allowing
51.50 per ton for mixing, $8 per ton
cheaper than they were bought. In
many cases they could have been made
f<>r from Sl2 to $lO per ton less than
what the burnetii paid lor them.

HOW TO MAKE AN OMELET.
"If it were my privilege to examine
all the cooks in the city," says Mrs.
Rorer, "1 should first put them to
making omelets, as nothing would be
tray more quickly the skill or ignor
ance of a cook than the handling of
the breakfast omelet." And then she
explains how it should be made.
Have an omelet pan about eight in
ches in diameter—one made from sheet
iron preferable. The bottom should
be as smooth as glass. If not, put into
it a teaspoonful of salt, aud then with
a piece of brown paper scour it thor
oughly. Do not wash it after, simply
turn the salt out aud putin a piece of
butter the size of a walnut. Break
four to six eggs into a bowl, and with
a fork give twelve to fifteen vigorous
beats, not enough to make the mixture
light, but to thoroughly mix the white
and the yolks of the eggs. Belting
either together or separately robs eggs
of their flavor, and also makes small
air cells, which expand as the pail is
heated and cool as the omelet is turned
over for the table, thus making a heavy
rather than a light aud tender one.
Do not add salt or pepper to the ome
let until it is nearly done. Salt
toughens the eggs. Add one teaspoon
fill of boiling water to each egg as soon
as they are beaten. Putin a piece of
butter the size of a hickory nut. Now
put the frying pan over the fire, hav
ing already placed in it a piece of but
ter the size of a walnut, and as soon
as it is melted, not brown, pour in the
eggs. Place over a quick fire, shake
as soon as the omelet begins to have a
set appearance; with a limber knife
lift the eggs, allowing the more liquid
part togo underneath, thus forming
layers, as it were, being very careful
not to tear the omelet, or it will have
the appearance of scrambled eggs.
Now sprinkle the omelet with salt and
pepper, and continue lifting until the
whole has been putin a jellylike con
dition. If the pan is perfectly smooth
the omelet will not stick. When done
aud set, not hard, slip a knife under
the omelet—that part next the handle
of the pan—roll it over, then turn
gently onto a heated dish ; serve at
once. It is better that you should
wait five minutes for your omelet than
that your omelet should wait one min
ute for you.
You will notice I have used water in
preference to milk. Milk contains a
small amount of cheese, toughens in
cooking and spoils the omelet. Neither
should you use thickening of any kind
—cornstarch or flour. Simply take
the egg and water and yon will have a
tender, delicious omelet. One more
caution, the omelet should not be a
dark brown, as it destroys the flavor
of the egg.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
A cup of cocoa makes a very refresh
ing drink after one has been shopping
all the afternoon.
If, after brushing the coat or gown,
it is sprinkled with spirits of camphor
and aired a few hours, it will be tidy

One can test a cake's baking by
drawing it to the edge of the oven and
listening for the faint, sputtering
sound which will continue until it is
ready to take out. This is a better
trial than the broom splinter thrust
into the dough.
There is a false economy, which
costs more than it returns, such as
saving old modioine bottles, partially
used prescriptions, the taeks taken
from the carpet, or working days to
save or make that which can bo bought
for a few cents.
Here is the correct way to stone
raisins: Free the raisins from the
stems, and then put them in a bowl.
Cover them with boiling water, and let
them stand for two minutes. Pour off
the water, open the raisins, and the
seeds can be removed quickly and
easily without the usual stickiness.
It is rumored that glossy hair is to
become the prevailing style, and to
produce the effect many things are re
sorted to. Brushing the hair at night
will make it shiny, and it is said that
a soft silk cap worn at night will do
the same. First of all, however, the
hair must be kept perfectly clean and
free from oil or "dressings."
Kitchen dado of linoleum is super
ior to wood, because it does not crack
or have spaces for the harboring of
bugs, and to tilings, because it is
cheaper and even ,-nore durable. It
should be glued close to the wall and
finished with a plain moulding. It
may be oiled or varnished or left in
its natural condition. In natural
wood color it looks well with a wall
colored light blue above.
Table fruit will keep twice as long
if kept in separate lots. Contact
hastens decay. One bad apple will
spoil a barrel. It will pay the house
wife to have the peaches, plums,
oranges, lemons and other small fruit
wrapped in paper when it comes from
the market and to separate the bunch
es of grapes. Street venders preserve
them by hanging them up in a cool
place. The next best plan is to lay
thorn on a large platter or in kitchen,
saucers, with space between.
Healing Power of Egg Oil.
Extraordinary stories are told or
the healing properties of a new oil
which is easily made from the yolk of
lions' eggs. The eggs are first boiled
hard and the yolks are then removed,
crushed and placed over a fire, where
they are carefully stirred until the
substance is on the point of catching
fire, when the oil separates and
may be poured off. One yolk, will yield
nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil. It is
in general use among the colonists of,
south Russia as a means of curing
ruts, bruises, etc. —St. Louis Globe-

Broad Making Machines.
In the manufacture of the bread
making machines of the Inst few years
the great object haw been to obviate,
as far as possible, the handling of the
dough. The materials themselves,
having a sort of life imparted to them
in the process of fermentation, require
entirely different treatment from that
to which other materials are subjected,
while necessitating machinery of
powerful construction to obtain
thorough and rapid mixing and the
stretching and folding motions essen
tial to the increase in elasticity of the
dough and the development of the j
gluten in the flour. An improved
machine possessing all these features
lias been constructed. Its various
movements are controlled by the turn
of a hand wheel. In the working of
the mixers the materials are brought
from each of the four corners of the
receiving trough to the centre of the
machine, incorporating the flour and
liquor thoroughly by evenly intermix
ing them, but without rubbing them
against the side of the trough. The*
machine has two speeds one for
breaking the sponge and for quickly
mixing the materials, and the other
for the kneading operation. The gear
ing for producing these speeds is actu
ated by means of a hand-wlieel, which
acts quite independently, without
stopping the machine. The arms of

New Solution ol the Tramp Problem.
Salem lias originated a novel scheme.
With the citizens of the capital city
the tramp problem is on a fair road
toward being solved. A huge rock
pile has been formed on <ho vacant
ground just south of the intersection
of Liberty and Ferry streets. A largo
shed has also been built. Hammers
are in abundance. Hereafter when
aid is asked for by tho tramps they
will be referred to a certain well
known firm, who will issue to tho
tramp or tramps a ticket admitting
them to this rock pile free of charge.
Each of these tickets will be signed by
the person issuing it. At the pile is
stationed a man who is overseer and
who collects the tickets issued. When
the tramp preseuts his ticket at tho
pile ho is supplied with a hammer and
obliged to putin his best licks on the
rocks. After an hour's labor, the time
designated by the board, the overseer
signs the ticket and the tramp is en
titled to either a bed or a meal.—Fort
